I agree, Lawrie, but on the other hand I don't want potential sellers to
have unrealistic expectations. I've seen too many hurt feelings, temper
tantrums, etc on the part of owners who expected to recoup full
restoration cost but could not. The final selling price will always be
driven by the buyer's willingness to pay. If you've spent $40,000 to
restore the car and expect to get at least that much out of it, then it
may take a very long time to sell the car.
